Lesson 24    Twenty-fourth Lesson     College

Part 1
Mr. Fenton: This morning the Hunts are coming here so that I can show them the college. Guy and Sarah hope their son’ll like it. Simon doesn’t want to go to college. If he likes it, perhaps he’ll change his mind. He doesn’t like studying. Guy thinks Simon’s lazy but I don’t agree with him. I doubt if Simon’s really lazy. It sounds as if he’s interested in other kinds of things. At his age I didn’t want to study, either. You seldom worry about the future when you’re his age. I’ll tell him about the advantages of a college education. Then I’ll show him the sports ground. If he saw the boys on the football field, he’d want to go to college. And if he sees some of the girls, he’ll change his mind very quickly. I hope he’s easy to persuade.
